Cotswold Shuttle Testimonials

You put so much heart into what you do, and your artistic soul shines through your effort.

We came to the UK for a family wedding and it was a rather serendipitous click on Google that led me to you and I will forever be grateful for that. What a font of knowledge you are!

S**** M****, Manila, Philippines

I appreciated your patience when we all had to wait an extra 3 hours to get my bag from British Airways that hadn't arrived on the same flight as me. You'd gotten up so early to be there on time for everyone's arrival and my family had spent 10 hours in the Hong Kong airport waiting for their connecting flight to London. We were all quite exhausted and yet, you were jolly and upbeat. It made it all seem so much easier to cope with. Again, many thanks.

夏天曾带7位大陆客人闲暇期间游览科茨沃茨。在寻找当地接待公司时，发现英国华人旅行社因路况或熟悉度等原因，很难安排当地的深度旅游。在当地旅游组织的网站上，找到了几家本土旅游公司的联系方式。多方联系中，发现网站做的既成熟，沟通起来又亲切的是小罗伯特的“让我们一起游英格兰” ：www.letstourengland.com
不仅如此，小罗伯特本人很有效率而且专业。提前把团款付清后，小罗伯特仍然及时回复我提出的任何问题和变动，非常配合。接到我们后，他的健谈风趣更让我们一行改变了对英国绅士不苟言笑的印象。客人抢着和他照相，并一致认为他是我们英国全程碰到的最佳司机兼导游。
诚信、负责、专业、友善、幽默是我们对他的整体评价。再有机会，我还会找小罗伯特合作。请特别注意，小罗伯特的姓英文翻译过来是“小”的意思，而真正生活里的罗伯特快头很大，一双大手拿不好筷子，跟我们吃川菜会汗流雨下。

Leading 7 business customers from Mainland China to travel Cotswolds this summer, I found it hard to find suitable local Chinese Agent due to the familiarity of the local area. Through the local travel organization, I finally found Rob Little’s interesting and friendly www.letstourengland.com among several local agents.

Rob has been very efficient and professional during the communications. After paid off the service charge, he still has been flexible and friendly responding all my questions and requests as well as changes. After meeting him, his strong sense of humor brought us lots of laugh and good memories, which changed our expression on the traditional English people. All my customers asked him to take pictures with him and all regarded him as our best driver and guide during the whole UK trip.

Being reliable, responsible, professional, kind and funny is the words we sum up for Rob Little. And I will definitely like to cooperate with him in future and recommend him to my friends. To be kindly noted, "Little" is Rob's family name, yet he is not little at all. Besides, he struggled to use chopsticks while sweating a lot eating spicy food with us at the Chinese restaurants.

We wanted to spend the majority of our budget with a driver, and made an excellent choice with Rob. He truly helped to make our trip special.

We did not know what to expect at first but were truly ecstatic by the end of our journey. I have had a few other driver/guides in the past and can honestly say he has been the best. He was wonderful with both the young ladies (in their early teens) and the Mom's.

Rob is extremely knowledgeable, flexible and creative. We did most everything we wanted to do in our limited time frame and more. His experience, honesty and knowledge truly helped make our trip special. When I asked him if he could stop at some point to take pictures of wild poppies, he not only stopped but took us to one of the highlights of my trip, an amazing huge field of poppies that I was able to take fantastic pictures of with the girls. Rob really "got" what we wanted to see and do as a group. He was able to guide us to locations that we would never have known about without his experience. Not every guide can read a diverse group of women!

J** S***, Columbia, MO, USA

Thank you for all the extras you included in our trip. We covered a lot of territory but I still feel as though I only scratched the surface. I didn't realize a small country, geographically speaking, could be so diverse and hold so much. I only wish I had traveled to Great Britain years ago. Maybe I will be fortunate enough to make it back again. Thank you once again.

H**** & D**** W****, Boston, MA, USA

Karen and I had a truly enjoyable time experiencing this piece of "heaven on earth" with you. We agree that seeing it with you undoubtably gave us a view and insight to the area we would not have been able to acheive any other way. Along with the Scottish Highlands, our tour of the Cotswolds were the highlights of our trip to the UK. Thanks again for helping to make our trip memorable.

D*** S*****, Wilmington, DE, USA

Rob......thanks for the wonderful trip. We had a spectacular time. I wish we had spent another day or two in the country with you rather than back in London. Three days in the Cotswolds was not enough! As I said on the trip, the Cotswolds are an area filled with nooks and crannies and you know each nook and each cranny. We are especially grateful for your ability to take us off the beaten path and show us Cotswolds that we would have never found on our own.

"We recently had the great pleasure of taking a tour of England and Scotland with our guide, Rob Little. Rob was an excellent guide! He was extremely knowledgeable about our tour sites and he offered numerous options for things to do along the way that were not originally on our tour. His insights and guidance allowed us to see and do more than we expected on our vacation. Rob was very professional, yet extremely approachable and pleasant to be with everyday. Even in the midst of dealing with a personal family crisis, he handled himself with great poise and professionalism, which allowed us all to be at ease and to enjoy our tour. I would highly recommend Rob Little for anyone planning a trip to England."

A & R C******, - Fort Mill, SC, USA

We truly enjoyed our time with you and the tour exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. Thank you for the wonderful vacation experience and for always going the extra mile (literally) for us !

(Comment after a 10 day trip to the Normandy Beaches in France, Paris, the Champagne area and Bruges in Belgium)
Rob: You are so special! You're interesting, curious, fun and just great to be around! Because of you, the travel from one place to another was a breeze. I really appreciate the fact that you were the ultimate Project Manager! You asked what my favorite part of the vacation was and while it was fun to sit in the little cafes and people watch, I still come back to the picnics. From the selection of baguettes and cheeses and pate and wine to the beautiful views from the river and across the vine fields, I truly felt that "it doesn't get better than this."

"Thank you for the pictures and comments you post on your blog. They are a special, treasured gift we receive just about every day - please do keep it up. Love the Tetbury photos too - your little corner of heaven, isn't it? And most of all - thanks for the memories!!!!!"

N & S, - Kentucky, USA

"Our tour of the English countryside with Rob was our favorite part of our vacation to the UK. Rob had two tough customers to please: a 10-yr and 7-yr-old! He made the tours interesting for them and for the adults, too. He took us to the destinations we requested, but made stops along the way that revealed English history in a memorable and visually beautiful fashion. A particular family favorite was the walk from Bibury to Coln St. Aldwyns. The scenery was truly breathtaking, and the walk reminded these busy tourists that simple things can provide the best memories."

W & B B*********, - NYC, USA

"I just completed a ten-day trip through England and France with Rob Little. There is nothing small about Mr. Little but his name - his level of dedication to his patrons, his knowledge of routes and places, his creativity, and the pleasure he obviously derives from doing a good job are all of a grand scale. There are few greater pleasures than a picnic arranged by Mr. Little on a French roadside or beach. To Americans, I would describe his tours as super. To Britons, I would describe his tours as brilliant."

H & S H****, - KY, USA

"We are just back from the very successful group garden tour from Texas to the Cotswolds, Jersey and Sussex / Kent with a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show on Members day.
The tour was a lot of fun and people felt that they were getting to know the real England and Jersey. We were able to include some very special opportunities in the tour, that only an insider can offer. In that respect, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your recommendation to stay at the Old Bell in Malmesbury with the group. The hotel staff were charming hosts, the hotel is in a lovely position in the town and everyone enjoyed the good food and without your personal recommendation it is unlikely that we would have picked that hotel and it really added to the tour and has a lot of character - so thank you for that.
Also you particularly recommended a visit to the Abbey House gardens in Malmesbury, which I had never seen. We chose to have one of the owners, Barbara, give us her own special brand of introduction and discussion on the gardens, as she escorted us round. This was an expensive option, but delightful. The gardens themselves are outstanding and the owner is a wonderful interpreter of the purpose of the garden and a most attractive and interesting person and speaker. This experience too, was much enjoyed by the group and we have you to thank again for the idea of going there.
Many thanks again for your successful recommendations and all the best for 2010"

"Rob.....I've really been enjoying your blog! Makes me feel I'm still on vacation!"

E C - Kentucky, USA

"This is one of the few vacations I've taken where I was not ready to come home when it was over! Thank you so much for for making our time in England so enjoyable! It was just all so wonderful that I have still not "processed" it all.
As soon as I get myself together I will go on all the "tourist guide" websites I can find and let them know that they should only use Let's Tour England with Rob Little!"

L & E C **** - Murray, KY, USA

"Rob Little is a tour guide extraordinaire. I can't believe how much we saw in the time we had. As an avid photographer I appreciated the fact that he went out of his way to stop when I wanted to snap a shot. He knew where to go to get a great shot and often pointed out something I hadn't seen. He was also very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with snippets of life in England. Thank you so much for making my vacation the best ever! I'll certainly come back for more as soon as I can!"

Karen B***** - Winthrop, Maine, USA

"Never having been to England and Wales, I was a little hesitant to use a company I had found on the Internet. So, I asked Rob Little for some references, which he willingly provided. I called all three, and every person raved about Rob. They were all very open and anxious to talk about their trips with Rob as their driver and personal guide. They had nothing but positive comments, and told me to contact them with any further questions I might have when planning our trip. Most followed up with emails suggesting "not to miss" places, and telling me that Rob knew lots of spots that are off the typical tourist route. I was sold and had no hesitations booking our "once in a lifetime" family trip with Rob Little. My husband and I wanted to take our two kids - 22 and 18 - plus their significant others, on a trip that would be their first taste of travel abroad since none of them had been to Europe or the UK. And since kids grow up and move away, it was a perfect opportunity to do something big and memorable. I am so thankful we found Rob. Our trip was everything we could have hoped for and more. He was incredibly helpful in planning our itinerary, made recommendations throughout the planning stages, and always went the extra mile, both literally and figuratively. In essence, I don't think I could have found anyone better to take us through the beautiful places in the Cotswolds, the south of Wales, down to the coastline to see Brixham and Dartmouth and back up to London, stopping in Salisbury and Stonehenge. He's simply the best! Everyone agreed, even my kids, who said that working with Rob was the best decision I could have made. He made all the difference. Trust me...."

Sharon & Joe K*** - Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA

"Rob Little helped craft a wonderful itinerary for our recent tour of the Cotswolds - we had just the right amount planned for each day. We were able to enjoy many interesting sights while learning about those with Rob's guidance. Having a driver who was knowledgeable about the many rural areas, villages, and roads truly enhanced our tour. I would, without hesitation, recommend Rob's "Lets Tour England" service."

M*** H****** - Chillicothe, Missouri, USA

"My Italian friends and I really enjoyed our 3-day tour of the Cotswolds with Rob: he knows every hidden spot, he told us lots of interesting little stories about the places we visited and he is really good fun. Actually I would say he is the perfect guide to the Cotswolds!"

J**** L*** - Milan, Italy

"Abbiamo fatto un tour dei Cotswolds di 3 giorni con Rob Little e devo dire che Rob conosce gli angoli più nascosti ed interessanti della zona. Ci ha raccontato tante storie interessanti ed anche divertenti...raccomando indubbiamente di fare un tour con lui...ne vale sicuramente la pena!"

J**** L*** - Milano-Italia

"Rob made the planning of our tour so easy. There were a few things we knew we had to see on our visit to England but he was able to show us so many other fantastic villages and vistas right off the usual tourist route and we loved that! We even went into a village baker's kitchen which was cool, and a fantastic farmers market. We also like the fact he took the trouble to call us many times before we left the USA, with advice on where to go and what to see so we knew he was "real"."

B**** L******* - Hanover, NH

"We went to England about a year ago with friends (four of us) and could not have had a better time touring than with Rob Little. He was friendly, fun, knowledgeable and flexible, and we highly recommend his services. He will take you where you want or places that he knows that are off the tourist path. He made our trip delightful"

D D**** - Delmar, NY

"I am home now, telling my family and friends how much fun C**** and I had in England. Your tour was EXCELLENT, and we were so appreciative of the extra time you gave us. I still can't believe how much we saw and learned! I am recommending you unequivocally to my mom and her friends when they visit England later in the year."

G V***** - Boston MA

"Thank you so much for the "Great Holiday Experience". The Ladies said to especially thank you for the "walk down the hill" between Upper and Lower Slaughter - they felt like they were in a faraway part of the English countryside!"

S & P D**** - Lilburn, GA - USA

"We have been home from England for a week now and are still reveling in our trip. The Cotswolds were all we had hoped they would be with the old, quaint villages and country manor houses; beautiful rolling hills; and lovely flora and fauna. It is obvious that you love the Cotswolds and are eager to guide visitors to locales they never would find on their own! We appreciate how well you created a tour based on our interests and desires. Your recommendations for accommodations were great and our stay at The Old Bell Hotel in Malmesbury was lovely. Any visit to England that does not include the Cotswolds is not complete. If you have not seen the Cotswolds, you have not seen true England! We hope to visit again in May when all the gardens will be in full bloom. Thank you for enhancing our tour and making us feel at home."

J & L-A G**** - Atlanta, GA

"We got in about midnight Friday night. Did enjoy the day with you so much. Thanks for the pictures. I had forgotten how pretty the Cotswolds are and how different from the rest of the country. Hope I can send you some business."

P A**** - Travel Agent, Dallas, TX

"Being back in the office I would just like to give you a quick feedback that everything went very well with our Customers. Its been a pleasure driving with you again and I hope there will be an opportunity to work with you again soon ;-) Thank you again for being so helpful before our trip and such a reliable company!"

"I have been bragging about the great job you did. Keep it up. Hope to see you one day here in the states. Take care and keep in touch."

"We had our best day in the uk with you today. It was fantastic. We will definitely pass your name on. Again...thank you for such a wonderful day!!!"

J & D T******* - Danbury Connecticut

"Thank you so much for everything! We both agree that the Cotswolds was our favorite part of the vacation. The itinerary you put together for us was wonderful. It suited our needs perfectly!"

"We appreciated your exceptional attention to our travel requirements. We have had an excellent "voyage" with you - many thanks!"

A & D -Manchester

"We just want to thank you again for making our vacation so special. We had a great time. Absolutely wonderful! Happy memories!"

Mike & Jane McCool -Front Royal, VA

"You were one of the key people in the arrangements for our special day - my partner and I were travelling to Tetbury from Florida to get married in England!"

"Initially we just wanted you to shuttle us to the Church, but as the date got nearer we asked you for help more and more - to shuttle from central London to Tetbury, some sightseeing tours and returns to the airport after the wedding. I was so disappointed when, in the end, you felt you could not accept our invitation to attend our reception as a guest. You did a fantastic job in coordinating the transport for 30+ people with four vans, and your meticulous organization ensured the day ran smoothly. Our guests found all the transportation services so reliable and friendly. You are a great ambassador for The Cotswolds and England!"

Charlotte and Len **** -Miami, Fl

"We had a wonderful day out, touring The Cotswolds. Rob Little was very knowledgeable, and we had an elevated view from the van so we were able to see over the hedges to the rolling green fields and beautiful stone walls beyond. Rob knew just the right places to take us for the "wow" factor and that included a wonderful lunch at the Black Horse Pub in Naunton Village. I can still taste the wonderful fish and chips in beer batter washed down with a pint of locally brewed ale!"

Roger & Barbara A, Portland, Dorset

Whatever time we need you at the airport you are there to welcome us - never a doubt or hitch. I can't tell you how much this means to a stressed-out passenger on the "red eye" - thanks a lot !

Vince L - Bath, Somerset

What a fantastic day out ! First the Matinee at Mama Mia followed but the most fantastic "Fish `n Chips" at the Sea Shell in Marylebone. It HAS to be London's best and recommended by YOU! Thanks so much we all loved it!
